Took my son along to explore the abandoned Bury FC Football Ground
Bury FC - founded in 1885
On 27th August 2019 a rescue package for Bury FC collapsed, meaning the one of the UK’s oldest clubs was expelled from the English Football League and left on the brink of extinction.
In late October 2021 a deal was been struck that could resurrect Bury Football Club, according to its administrator.
Steven Wiseglass says the agreement for the sale of the club's Gigg Lane ground could help save the club and allow football to continue at the 12,000-capacity stadium.
Heads of terms have been signed and the new owners - a fan group called Est 1885 - are set to officially get the keys to the stadium as early as December.

As an Everton fan I really really hope that Bury FC return to Gig Lane soon, as I've been to the ground many many times and it's a fantastic old ground, just like Goodison park. with lots and lots of history.... Bury will live again... The shakers will return...

My uncle played for Bury many years ago (RIP). It's sad to see such an old & traditional stadium looking like this.

The FA are also to blame because didn’t give the club some extra time to try to be saved. Meanwhile the big clubs with money get a slap on the wrist. This goes to show you that football is broken. Would be good to see Bury FC back playing football again to renew their rivalries with Oldham and Rochdale.

to be fair i blame the neville family as well, they went on about how much that club ment to their whole family, but yet had the money to save it yet chose instead give salford the biggest wage budget in league 2, yes i knwo there are other owners, but gary has put a lot of money into salford himself, just think of the money the nevilles have, gary and phil from football and their sister in netball and other womens sports, them 3 alone could of save dbury and not had a dint in their back accounts

So many memories of Gigg Lane since my first game watched game there as a kid (3-0 win against Sunderland on a snowy 29 Dec 1962!) I went on to become a regular season ticket holder. I’ve lived in Japan for the last 30 years but still avidly followed the fate of the Shakers. It’s sad to see this, but maybe Bury FC will soon be back in their rightful home! Looks like it won’t take too much to get match ready.

So sad that Bury FC are no more. Why did the EFL expel them after they got promoted to League One from League Two. Such a shame on how you could let this football club suffer so much. Rest in Peace Bury FC 1885-2019. Even if you are gone but you will always be remembered.

The Football League and the Premier League should hang there heads in shame after what has happened to Bury FC , surely a friendly game against Manchesters City and United would have generated the revenue to save this proud club , or the clubs could have loaned the money 0% intrest over say 10 or 15 years

My mum often tells me about when she stood on the terraces as a little girl and watched Bury. I'm 52!!! I've never been to Gigg Lane, it looks like a "better version" of Kenilworth Road, even the state of it now!! Although our pitch is in better condition, Est 1885 - same year as Luton -- rise again Bury. Get your club back to where it belongs. Fcuk the FA, and the Football League (cnuts) We are the famous Luton Town They tried to kill us off But we're not soft We are the famous Luton Town
